The Challenge Horn is a critical item for tackling endgame missions in RuneScape Dragonwilds. Crafting this horn requires specific resources, and this guide covers everything you need to know about making it.
While the Challenge Horn shares similarities with the Ram Horn, it’s much more complex to create. This guide offers crucial details about its crafting process, including necessary items and workstations. Acquiring this item is essential for challenging the formidable General Velgar and completing the game.
Crafting the Challenge Horn in RuneScape Dragonwilds
Your journey begins by obtaining the crafting recipe, which can be found in the Fractured Plains. Speak with Cathan located near the entrance of the main boss area. The recipe is conveniently positioned near a bridge.
To successfully craft the Challenge Horn, you will need three essential items:
- 1x Dragon Tooth
- 1x Bloodwood Sap
- 5x Bronze Bars
Let’s detail how to acquire each of these resources:
- The Dragon Tooth can be located through hints provided during the Dragon Slayer primary quest. Head to the southwest section of the Stormtouched Highlands where the quest marker indicates its location. This area is known for being highly dangerous, so prepare yourself adequately. For a step-by-step guide, check our detailed article on obtaining Dragon Tooth.

- To obtain Bloodwood Sap, venture into the Bloodblight Swamp. Find the castle and chop down a large tree to gather the sap. This region contains numerous toxic hazards, so follow our safety guide to navigate through it effectively.

- For the final component, Bronze Bars, you will need access to a Furnace. Smelt tin and copper ores to create the bars, also viable for crafting advanced tools like a bronze axe. Both Tin and Copper can be mined in the Fractured Plains using any pickaxe, but an Iron Pickaxe will expedite the process.

To gather these resources effectively, wield the Iron Pickaxe and Iron Logging Axe. These upgraded tools enhance your resource-gathering capabilities. If you don’t have them yet, craft them using the necessary materials.
